This school is over all pretty awesome. I have two daughters that have attended here for about 3…read moreyears now. I've never had any issues with the teachers or parents aside from the occasional fight or two that all kids get in as they grow up. Security here is A1 as well. You have to pass Biometrics and then a separate door with a passcode on a keypad. They do pick up from about 5 or 6 schools around West Knoxville and my daughters happened to go to one of those so that is very convenient. They have a specifically labeled bus. They also have a pretty cool summer program for kindergarteners and above filled with field trips and educational items. It is conveniently located and off the street of Kingston Pike in the Farragut area so anyone in West Knoxville will be happy. I definitely recommend this to any parent looking for a place but I know they are rarely free and always filled up which I suppose is a good thing. Kids won't stop and neither will this staff. The head director is pretty involved and asks me what we are doing daily and I know you don't always get that from staff at a childcare location. Highly recommend

They told us we could have our son come in the fall with no specific date and I called and the director was always on a bus route or not in office with no call back. I called in spring no answer and now it is almost end of summer and I just want my money back. We did not get a spot nor would I send my kid to this facility. I have now spoke with the director twice this week but she keeps blowing me off saying she need to speak to admin or name isn't in there database and it's always "I'll call you tomorrow." They have probably spent my money and this is ridiculous!!

Bring up a concern and they deny, deflect, and bring up their contract. It's all about their "contract" with them. Even if your kid is being hurt by someone there, you have to get a lawyer to get out of their "contract". "Master whatever" seems like a money grubbing douchebag who has little concern for the welfare of the kids who we are paying him to protect and give a FUN experience. We're not paying him to let them get abused. It's one thing I don't take lightly. If one of the boys ever say they aren't comfortable I'm not making them go ever.

RECA has been an incredible blessing to our family. After spending 10 years teaching in public…read moreeducation, I knew that traditional public school was not what I wanted for our family--but I never imagined we would find a school that so completely exceeded our hopes. We don't just love RECA; we are deeply grateful for it. From the start, the sense of community has been exceptional. The educators at RECA are not only highly capable and intentional in their teaching, but genuinely invested in the hearts, minds, and spiritual growth of their students. Faith is not an add-on--it is naturally and beautifully woven into learning, relationships, and the overall culture of the school. One of the greatest joys for us as parents has been watching how much our daughter genuinely loves school and learning. She is excited to learn, proud of her work, and growing in confidence in herself and her abilities. RECA has created an environment where she feels safe, encouraged, and challenged in the best ways--and that confidence carries over into every part of her life. The hybrid model has also been an incredible gift. Having more intentional time with our daughter at home and the opportunity to play such a hands-on role in her learning each week has been deeply rewarding. We feel connected to what she's learning, why she's learning it, and how she's growing--not just academically, but in character and faith. RECA strikes a rare and beautiful balance: strong academic expectations without burnout, structure without rigidity, and flexibility without chaos. Communication from teachers is clear and supportive, and parents are treated as true partners in the educational process rather than passive observers. Perhaps most meaningful of all is the school culture. There is a genuine spirit of joy, kindness, and intentionality among both staff and families. It truly feels like a community walking together with a shared purpose--to raise and educate children with excellence, wisdom, and Christ at the center. RECA has given our family more than an education--it has given us time, connection, peace, and a community we trust wholeheartedly. We could not recommend it more highly to families seeking a Christ-centered, high-quality, and relationally rich educational experience.

I traveled 100 miles to visit and buy some supplies and found them to be closed in the middle of the week. Decided to go back home and come back on Thursday. When I arrived the sign said open but on a sticky note in the door said closed for lunch. Now I have to drive home empty again. Came back on Friday and when I wished to express a complaint I was told I appreciate the complaints but I have to have a break! I've been a mgr for yrs and you should never close in the middle of a shift. Simply bring your lunch and eat between customers. He was very unprofessional and has alot to learn about customer service! I drove 609 miles to shop there and he didn't even try to apologize for any of my inconvenience. I'll never spend another dime there!

It is clear their priority is cheerleading. Because of Covid and where we used to live my daughters were behind for their age, but Premier did not help. My two girls did not have great teachers, and were more babysat than pushed. They never got floor time. That was 100% reserved for cheerleaders. They were happy to simply take our money and call it a day and only leveled them up when I brought up how my girls seemed ahead of the group they were in. I put them at the absolute lowest level, so they could get used to it again and get the muscle and coordination back. I knew they would leave that level quickly, but didn't until I took action.

We paid in full a month before the party. When we arrived to the location, we were told, after having to ask, that there would not be an instructor for the class. This was very disappointing as we had told all the parents and kids that there would be one. Premier told us that all of their employees were at a competition. So, they would have known in advance that there was no instructor available and could have let us know prior to our party. We did get a $25 refund but that was only after I emailed and then called them about it. I got no response from my email so I called during business hours. They didn't seem to apologetic on the phone either. It sounded like this was common.

I agree with her 100%. The only thing I will add to her review is this school is negligent in supervising of the children. Especially on the playground.

I would not recommend them to anyone so cares about the safety of their child.

While Chef Nick was knowledgeable and the cooking portion of the class was enjoyable, the entire…read moreexperience was completely overshadowed by the unprofessional and unwelcoming behavior of the owners--particularly the female co-owner. As others have mentioned in their reviews, the business is run by a husband and wife team. From the moment we arrived, the female owner's rude, hostile, and dismissive attitude set a negative tone. Despite following their instructions to arrive early, we were told we couldn't wait inside, and it was hot out! We completed the required waivers in advance as recommended, but we were met with annoyance instead of appreciation--almost as if our preparedness was an inconvenience. We made every effort to remain friendly, polite, and respectful, but her dismissive, cold and abrasive demeanor persisted to the point that we genuinely considered walking out before the class even began. What could have been a fun and memorable evening was completely derailed by her unprofessional conduct. We tried to make small talk, and I have a high tolerance for rudeness, but this was to a scale that I have never encountered. There were roughly 10 couples in the class, and as we began interacting with others, it quickly became clear that we weren't alone in our experience. Several guests shared similar complaints about her attitude and lack of courtesy. It wasn't just a bad day or a misunderstanding--this is a pattern. In addition to the customer service issues, the structure of the class itself was disappointing. We signed up expecting a hands-on cooking experience. While we were allowed to assist with some small tasks, the majority of the cooking was done by the chef. The setup seemed more geared toward encouraging guests to purchase additional drinks (which are not included) and to socialize, rather than actually teaching any meaningful culinary skills. Although we enjoyed the meal and met new people, I don't believe anyone left with the knowledge or confidence to recreate the dishes at home. While I understand that this format may help keep the evening on schedule, it wasn't what I paid for or hoped to experience. Given the premium price of the class, we expected a welcoming, professionally run event. Instead, we left feeling frustrated, disrespected and disappointed. I would not attend again, and I strongly discourage others from signing up until the owners--particularly the female co-owner--reevaluate how they engage with their guests or sell it to someone with people skills.
